Guiding Questions: Psalms 70 - The Digital Home for Conservative Judaism

Guiding Questions: Psalms 70

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Does this text seem familiar — perhaps a reading of Psalms 40 (Psalms 40:14-18) would be helpful?
What is it that the Psalmist is requesting from God?
Would it appear from Psalms 70:6 that the Psalmist is wealthy, or impoverished?
Does the closing refrain in Psalms 70:6 (“do not delay/tarry”) indicate that the danger and trouble are imminent or not pressing?
